1. Sal-ly called when she got the word
  D                                  E        A          E
   She said "I sup-pose you've heard   A-bout Al-ice" |     |
           A
   Well, I rushed to the win-dow and I looked out-side
  D
   But I could hard-ly be-lieve my eyes
  E                                      A                  E
   As a big lim-ou-sine rol-led up in-to Al-i-ce's drive |     |

              A
Chorus: Oh, I don't know why she's leav-ing or where she's gon-na go
  D
I guess she's got her rea-sons but I just don't wan-na know
           E                                                 A        E7
'Cause for twen-ty four years I've been liv-ing next door to Al-ice |     |
A
Twen-ty four years just wait-in' for a chance 
   D
To tell her how I feel and may-be get a sec-ond glance 
      E                      D            E       A        E7
Now I got-ta get used to not liv-ing next door to Al-ice |     |

2. We grew up to-geth-er two kids in the park
  D                                         E         A         E
   Carved our in-i-tials deep in the bark__   Me 'n'  Al-ice |     |
           A
   Now she walks through the door with her head held high
  D
   Just for a mom-ent I caught her eye
  E                                             A                  E
   As the big lim-ou-sine pulled slow-ly out of Al-i-ce's drive |     |

              A
Chorus: Oh, I don't know why she's leav-ing or where she's gon-na go
  D
I guess she's got her rea-sons but I just don't wan-na know
           E                                                 A        E7
'Cause for twen-ty four years I've been liv-ing next door to Al-ice |     |

Twen-ty four years just wait-in' for a chance 
   D
To tell her how I feel and may-be get a sec-ond glance 
      E                      D            E       A        E7
Now I got-ta get used to not liv-ing next door to Al-ice |     |

3. Then Sal-ly called back and asked how I felt
  D                               E            A          E
   She said, "I know how to help__  Get o-ver  Al-ice" |     |
                  A
   She said, "Now Al-ice is gone but I'm still here
       D
   You know I've been wait-in' twen-ty four years".
 E
   And the big lim-ou-sine dis-ap-peared

          A
Chorus: I don't know why she's leav-ing or where she's gon-na go
  D
I guess she's got her rea-sons but I just don't wan-na know
           E                                                 A        E7

A
Twen-ty four years just wait-in' for a chance 
   D
To tell her how I feel and may-be get a sec-ond glance 
         E                      D            E       A
But I'll ne-ver get used to not liv-ing next door to Al-ice |  𝄎  |
         E                      D            E       A
No, I'll nev-er get used to not liv-ing next door to Al-ice |  ↑  |
